Clear storm damage from Margaret's garden in Mbale

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Margaret's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Mbale
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Mbale for 37 years. After the storm in August, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a recent fall. The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    hang in there, Margaret. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!

      Thinking of you, Margaret. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 12 people at work.

      • Carter L. Vasquez

        sending good thoughts, Margaret. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
